Congratulations on all involved for the unusually mature and level-headed way we handled KevinG's flamebait.  |
Thank goodness! I actually ended up writing a long posting for him, but didn't post it. All I posted was a short link to something useful. I still got a mouthful from him. Yikes. I posted my own response on one of my blogs instead. I actually received one or two comments on it, as well. Favorable ones!
I'm glad that he was banned. I used to have a forum for ESL teachers in which one loudmouth came on right before a conference and blasted people. I had some people unsubscribe in the short term. In the long term, though, I think it killed people's interest in the forum: people were afraid to post. The forum still exists but languishes as a result. Up until that point, I'd had regular posters from different teachers and countries. Oh, well.
